"Mom went to Malang?" ask Bilqis to Laila.
Before going to bed, Laila's small family without her husband always gather in the family room. Usually they will be long in this room while watching television, whether it's a soap opera or premium movie that is served by one of the broadcasts.
"Yes, so. Radit has a ticket for the day after tomorrow" replied Laila.
"Ordinary day?" ask Bilqis again.
"That's the cheapest ticket, Ma'am," said Radit who was watching a premium movie. "If it's Saturday, the ticket price triples. Dear money. Radit also has no activity."
Bilqis agreed.
"But Mom don't stay there long!" Bilqis interrupted again.
"No, Qis. Mom was with your sister just last night. The next day we will go home" replied Laila.
"Why? Scared huh?" Radit scares his cowardly brother. "Come on your own, ma'am. Last time Radit watched a ball, Raditikan kept making coffee ..."
Blobs
Laila immediately silenced her sister's mouth.
"Keep what, Dit?" ask Bilqis.
"Don't hear your sister's words!"
Laila rounded her eyes at Radit not to tell anything strange because there was nothing strange in this house. It's just that Radit memamg often teases his brother.
"But Bilqis was curious. So what's the matter, Dit?"
"Ah, don't! Later Ma'am Qis is afraid." Radit grinned as he looked towards the mother. Although Laila's face is soft and rarely angry but Radit still hesitated to the mother.
"Ih, come on dong Dit! Continue the story," woo Bilqis.
"Mending doesn't need to know you're scared" Laila said.
"Yes, said Mother. Just like if we like people. Mending doesn't need to know his heart, rather than know that he doesn't love us, even hurt."
"Keeps at you, Dit?" ask Bilqis meredek.
"No, just rumbling." Radit's reply suddenly made Bilqis and Laila laugh.
Such was the life of the Bilqis family. Although their lives are full of wounds and must be with a struggle to achieve something, but they remain happy and supportive of each other.

"Mother, come! He said he was going to the supermarket. Come on Radit accompany."
Laila nodded. Before leaving, he will fill the food first in the refrigerator, so that when left, Bilqis can cook his own food that he wants or at least provide instant noodles and eggs. Food is quick and easy, considering Bilqis is the laziest to cook when the cuisine can also be said to be delicious.
"Come on." Laila looked neat wearing a black robe and a light brown instant veil.
"Buy snacks on the plane and at the hotel, Mom."
Laila nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
After going to the family home of Bilqis and Radit's father or Laila's ex-husband. They will spend the night at the hotel. All accommodations have been prepared through the application Radit and looking for a minimum price with good facilities.
Radit took the mother on a motorbike. When trouble opened the helmet, the man opened it. Radit is a man who loves his family, especially his mother. She knew very well the struggle of Laila raising herself and her sister. Radit loved his mother very much.
Soon, Laila and Radit enter the supermarket. Radit pushed the empty trolley which slowly became fully loaded as the mother placed the necessary items inside.
"Mom, Radit to a guy's perfume place huh. Radit's perfume is gone."
Laila nodded. The middle-aged woman was left in a fresh food place, where Laila was choosing ground meat for Bilqis because she said that while on holiday, her daughter wanted to make spagethy.
Then, Laila turned to the drink stand. He was looking for fresh milk.
"Darling, you want this?" A familiar voice rang out in Laila's ears.
Laila looked for that voice.
"Darling, don't forget to buy vitamin C!"
The voice was heard again. Laila's heart was racing. For twenty-two years he had not heard the voice.
Laila searched for that voice, and ...
"Mas Ridho?"
Laila closed her mouth in disbelief at what she saw. She saw her ex-husband with the woman. Yes, the woman her husband chose to leave her and her two children.
Laila tried to approach the man who was not looking at her. The woman next to the man Laila knew was pulling her out of the supermarket.
"Mas Ridho ..." Laila called the ex-husband, but Ridho was gone.
Laila did not want to lose track of the father of her two children, considering that she was looking for the whereabouts of the man. If here, Laila can find Ridho, why all the way to Malang? Her thought.
"Mas Ridho." Laila tried to catch up.
The sound of Laila's screams, then makes Radit menoleb and chase after the mother.
"Mas Ridho." Laila ran to the parking lot.
Radit immediately left his groceries and chased after his mother.
"Mother ... Mother why the hell?" radit asked with a sigh approaching his mother.
"Dit, go after your father!" pinta Laila patted Radit's shoulder repeatedly.
"Cursue to where? And who?" radit was confused. There was no one in that parking lot.
Radit followed the direction of the mother's eyes on a car that had come out of this building area.
"That's your father, Dit." Laila repeated her words.
"Mom may have seen it wrong." Radit still does not believe because if, indeed, what the mother sees is her father, she should recognize Laila.
"The man with the woman at the drink stand?" ask Radit.
"Yes right." Laila nodded. "You see it, Dit?"
"A quick glance" replied Radit.
Radit does not know exactly the face of his father because when he was left, he was not yet two years old. And after the father left, Laila never introduced Ridho's face to him. Radit had forgotten his father's face.
"Easy, Mom. Maybe I saw it wrong. Because if he is indeed the honorable Mr. Ridho, he will turn his head when mother calls him. But Radit was engaged, the father was ordinary when the mother screamed."
Laila fell silent. That's right what Radit said. Did Ridho really forget about it? Forgetting children? If she is the one who is forgotten, it's okay, thought Laila. But not by forgetting his flesh and blood, because there is a responsibility Ridho must marry his daughter.
The next day, Bilqis asks Alex for permission to arrive late to the office, as he has to take her and her sister to the airport. Bilqis also tells Alex that there, his mother is doing something to prepare for their marriage.
Of course, Alex gave permission right away.
"Qis, be careful at home. Turn off all lights if you want to sleep." Laila gave her careless daughter some encouragement.
"Yes, Mom. Most of the time Mom left, I stayed at my friend's apartment" replied Bilqis, who was afraid to stay home alone. He plans to stay at Tina or Saskia's apartment. That's even if the two are not dating their boss.
"Don't! Stay in people's homes. Our home is also nothing. You lied to your sister."
"It's not a hoax, Ma'am. So when I finished making coffee and went back to the room, I heard in the kitchen like someone was stirring coffee. Just like I did before."
"Radrite." Bilqis screamed for the sister's name while hitting her shoulder repeatedly and pinching her.
"Aww ... Pain, Ma. Ah." Radit stroked his painful shoulder but his lips kept laughing.
"You guys, everywhere fighting. If you don't fight it feels like there is less, yes" chirped Laila to divorce her two children.
Radit was still laughing, while Bilqis was pouting.
"Yes already, I'm flying first huh. Be careful at home!" Laila waved, after Bilqis kissed the back of the hand.
"Bye, Ma'am. Oh yes, ask Sir Alex to accompany him at home" Radit said.
"Good idea" said Bilqis who was immediately invited by the mother.
"Just boy. You're not married yet. What do the neighbors say?"
Bilqis. But he's not really going to do that. Or is he staying overnight at the office? Her thought. But at the office at night, it was more creepy, he thought again.
